Seasons - Isn't it wonderful when...

Isn't it wonderful when...

instead of fighting in a war, you get an opportunity to do something completely humanitarian instead? That's just what one friend of ours in Iraq is doing. In his work, as a US Marine stationed over there, he was introduced to a little girl in dire need of a life saving heart operation. Her name is Amina, and you can read her story here:

Operation Amina

Darren is planning on driving over to Jordan to assist in her travel from the Iraqi border to Amman. Please pray for traveling mercies as he drives from here to Iraq and back. It's about 1000 miles round trip and some of it is a bit like the wild west, if you know what I mean. We're very excited about helping out in any way possible.

I'd also ask you to pray for this little girl, not only for the life-giving surgery she so desperately needs, but that she and her entire family, village and country would learn to worship the real Life-Giver.

Love to you all,
Maggie

Jan. 17, 2008 - An update

Posted by Darrensgirl

Hello,
As of today, Darren won't actually be going over to Amman to help out. There was a glitch in the red tape required through the embassy. It's disappointing, but by the same token, we trust God's wisdom in keeping him here. Do be sure to check out the blog site to keep up with this little one.

Warmly,
Maggie
